It's just a lazy delay'

Bill Shorten says a further delay of the Senate vote on the NDIS bill won't actually lead to any changes:

There's no good reason on God's green earth to have another eight weeks of review, which isn't actually eight weeks.

There won't be a whole lot of new submissions come in, there won't be some brand new arguments not considered.

I'm horrified after 12 months of reviewing the NDIS and then another six months of discussing the review including [in] the last three a Senate committee having public hearings calling for submissions.

The opposition has used words never ever said before by them.
